      Originally, dictator was just ordinary political position in the Roman Republic given to temporary magistrates to deal with state crises. Until it was abused.

        It’s sad that he even influences our behavior here on lemmy. What are the majority of posts about? Trump…

          Like it or not, he’s about to be put back in charge of the world’s most powerful military and possibly about to crash the biggest economy. Plus the whole starting new genocides and supporting old ones thing. It’s kind of a big deal and you probably shouldn’t ignore it.

      You’re right. He won’t try to rebrand dictatorship. He might try to become a king though!
